FLAT-WIRE NETTING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 328,716, dated October20, 1885.

Application filed August 29, 1885. Serial No. 175,641. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL RATTEY, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have invented a new and Improved Flat-Wire Netting, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved flat-wirenetting, which is to be used as office-railing, window-screens, andother similar purposes.

The invention consists of wire-netting made of fiat wire, as will befully described and set forth hereinafter, and pointed out in theclaims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures. v

Figure 1 is a face view of a piece of my improved flat-wire netting.Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part of the same at the intersectionof two wires.

The netting is formed of a series of flat wires or rods, A, which arewoven together in the usual manner of weaving wires or rods that is, atthe intersections the Wires alternately pass over and under the rodscrossing them. At the intersections each wire is bent to form a part, B,which is at right angles to the remaining part of the flat wire or rod.

The parts B are arranged a greater or less distance from each other,according to the size of the squares or fields to be formed in thenetting.

When the wires are woven, the parts B rest on each other, as shown, andthe parts B of different wires are at a right angle to each other, or atany other angleas, for example, when the fields in the netting arediamondshaped.

The flat wires need not be riveted or otherwise fastened at theintersections, as they are held by being interwoven. The flat Wires orrods may have any desired width and may be of any desired metal.

One of the special features of my improved flat-wire netting is theedges of the flat wires always face the observer, and the crossed flatparts B make the intersections quite conspicuous.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent-- 1. Wire netting composed of flat wires woventogether and having the parts thereof at their intersections twistedwith reference to their other parts, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.

2. Wire netting having the planes or flat sides of the wires at rightangles to the plane of the netting, substantially as herein shown anddescribed.

3. Wire-netting formed of crossed flat wires or rods having parts B atright angles to the remaining portions at the intersections, the fiatsides of the parts B resting on each other, substantially as hereinshown and described.

EMIL RATTEY.
